[net.sources] uuencoded buf128.exe for IBM-PC

bet@ecsvax.UUCP (07/03/84)

The following is the binary executable file for a program called buf128.exe,
which increases your typeahead buffer to 128 bytes. Cut at the line and run
through uudecode(1), then use binary download to snarf the executable to a PC.

I believe the referenced posting (a 128-byte typeahead buffer for the
PC) is the one that comes with DeSmet C.  I seem to remember reading
the source at one time and noting that it does a hard jump into ROM,
which would seriously impair compatibility (have not tried it with my
Compaq).  I had also assumed it to be proprietary...

By the way, does this belong in net.sources or in net.micro.ibm?  I
would imagine net.sources is best reserved for UNIX and generally-
applicable C stuff.  Which is the appropriate place?
